Are you sure the Cdn dealers are not CPO'ing the US cars themselves? If you are right, I got to look into this since my car was a US CPO car and the previous owner (who imported it from the States) was told by DFC and Pfaff that the CPO doesn't transfered over. I was told the same when I bought the car in for warranty service and was told that my warranty expires 4 yrs from the in service date, as opposed to 6 yrs from the in service date. I was told by Pfaff that I can have the car CPO but it means they will have to do all the work on it and then I have to pay almost $2k for the insurance certificate, I was told that it's not worth it.

Is the certified pre-owned (CPO) warranty applicable for a U.S. vehicle in Canada?
Yes, if the vehicle with the CPO warranty was sold by an authorized Porsche Dealer directly to a Canadian consumer, or if the vehicle was sold by a private individual directly to a Canadian consumer. Cars sold by brokers and non-Porsche dealerships will not have a CPO warranty

Man, I forget how helpful this board is. I found out today the USA car has an issue with the RMS. They stated they would repair it as well as replace the clutch while they are at it.
Suprised at 17K miles that it would need a clutch already. Ok, looks like I will need to do lots of looking around to find something that would fit the bill. 997S would be a preference and for sure a turbo with CPO, but not sure if it will stay in my budget.
Dabbled with a SRT10 that had ridiculous power but unfortunately designed to be a lethal combination speed and power in my humble opinion.
Thanks
